The Musée de la Mer, housed in the Fort, also holds a significant collection of undersea archaeology found in the area, including amphorae, glass and ceramics. The building originally consisted of four first century Roman cisterns to which dungeons and other structures were added in the 17th to 19th centuries. The island is covered with fragrant pine forests and botanical gardens, laced with footpaths.
